The Builder's Journey: Recent Episodes
Alex Mintling
Welcome fellow travelers, Alex here on The Builders Journey, where we take a behind the scenes look at the Vail Colorado and its surrounding communities through the eyes of a lifelong builder and remodel contractor. It will be an eclectic mix of stories, topic matters and personalities from all walks of life. If you ever wondered what it was like to live, work and play in a mountain community high atop the Rockies, here’s your chance.
The Builders Journey is proudly sponsored by Plumb Kendall Solutions: building quality and value into commercial and residential remodeling projects since 1994. Check us out at www.RemodelVail.com and while you’re there signup to receive our 7-step process to remodeling success. It’s a no BS approach for the first time remodeler as well as the seasoned building professional. . . That’s www.RemodelVail.com
There are trail names earned on places like the Appalachian Trail. Then there are highway names - bestowed by the motorists who give hitchhikers rides.
As the story goes, it was dusk, and a young man was making his way to Idaho to spend quality time with his father.
Grab your mashmallows, graham crackers, and a blanket. Pull up a camp chair, because from this day forward, the Hayden's highway name is Campfire.
Why? Because wherever he went, people couldn't help but gather to hear him tell, one more story.
Hayden, you accidently left your sunglasses in the truck. Email me and i can send them or you can pick them up on your way back through!

When I set out to field-test my new Zoom H2 Essential Multi-Mic Handy Recorder (which I can't recommend highly enough), I assumed I was simply going to capture some random audio. Apparently, God had other plans.
While riding public transportation from Glenwood Springs to Eagle, Colorado, a ray of sunshine entered my life by the name of Dan.
I'll cut to the chase: the world is a better place because of Dan. We need more people like him.
Was our meeting a sacred contract, divine destiny, or completely random? It's likely I'll never know. What I do know is that some people leave your life better than they found it, and Dan is one of those people.
Godspeed, my friend. We'll be in touch soon.

Please forgive me if this is inappropriate timing but in I would like to mention that in August of 2022, Eric was a guest on a podcast titled; “The Builder’s Journey”. As of this morning, I’ve reposted the episode with and an alternate ending (EP246: Eric Baldwin “The Genuine Article” R.I.P.) To Natalie & Rudy, so sorry for your loss, your Father was incredibly proud you! He never missed an opportunity to brag about your accomplishments, awards and what good people you turned out to be. No podcast conversation could prepare me for this level of sadness and sense of loss. Eric, you will be sorely missed and never forgotten. Thank you for making me a better person. Alex Mintling

As the Fentanyl fire burns, there is a "forgotten fire" ablaze.
Mainstream media and politicians alike are (rightfully so) making headlines of our current opioid epidemic. Out the of the bright lights and tucked away from everyday conversation, there is a multi-billion dollar industry pushing anti-depressants and Benzodiazepines as the solution to our mental health crisis. On the 151st anniversary of the Great Chicago fire and the fire in Peshtigo Wisconsin, maybe we can draw some insights, wisdom or just reflect on the future of our collective mental health. Or, maybe not. You decide.

“NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH RESEARCH: “FDA Updates Black Box Warning for Benzodiazepines” https://www.center4research.org/fda-updates-black-box-warning-for-benzodiazepines/ . The agency warns patients to talk with their healthcare providers in order to develop a plan for safely and slowly tapering off a benzodiazepine.1 . . . Benzodiazepines already have a black box warning, which warns that taking benzodiazepines at the same time as opioids can lead to extreme sedation, slow and ineffective breathing, comas, and even death.6 FDA’s 2020 decision keeps this previous warning about combining benzodiazepines with opioids and adds additional warnings about the risks of addiction, as well as dangerous withdrawal symptoms. “https://www.center4research.org/fda-updates-black-box-warning-for-benzodiazepines/
While experiencing the transition from high school to college, John Staight was prescribed alprazolam (i.e. Xanax), a powerful benzodiazepine (benzo). As a responsible patient, John acted in good faith, and took his medication as prescribed. He trusted the “all-knowing doctors” and mental health professionals with his life. Decades later, at a cliffs edge, his trust in the mental health system would be permanently broken. Listen in, as John shares how he navigated the heroes’ journey and now lives to educate and help others escape the clutches of antidepressants and benzodiazepines.

Bummer. Sometimes plans change and you need more time.
Today (July 21st 2022) is the 4th anniversary of TBJ show host (Alex Mintling) being involved in a recreational logging accident.
Alex issued podcast episode, #154 "Save The Date", where he promised that today he would share the 911 call made on his behalf. He also promised the audio from the first responders credited with saving his life. This obviously didn't happen.
Listen in as Alex tries to squirm his way out of this one by issuing his very first (TBJ) change order request. Will the listing audience accept or deny the request . . . you can decide.

Sometimes feeling our feelings can be inconvenient. Who has time to feel angry, disappointed or sad? Stuffing our feelings with alcohol, drugs and food is a great way to avoid being present in our lives.
Make the most out of your next Ketamine treatment by treating yourself to a good-old-fashion cry.
Thanks to modern science, “Researchers have established that crying releases oxytocin and endogenous opioids, also known as endorphins. These feel-good chemicals help ease both physical and emotional pain.” Is crying good for you? - Harvard Health

Charlotte Joko Beck has left us with many a memorable quote.
Charlotte Joko Beck (March 27, 1917 – June 15, 2011[1]) was an American Zen teacher and the author of the books Everyday Zen: Love and Work and Nothing Special: Living Zen.[2]
"Everyday Zen: Love & Work" by Charlotte Joko Beck offers a warm, engaging, uniquely American approach to using Zen to deal with the problems of daily living—love, relationships, work, fear, ambition, and suffering. Everyday Zen shows us how to live each moment to the fullest.
"Nothing Special - Living Zen" by Charlotte Joko Beck.
WHEN NOTHING IS SPECIAL, EVERYTHING CAN BE
The best-selling author of 'Everyday Zen' shows how to awaken to daily life and discover the ideal in the everyday, finding riches in our feelings, relationships, and work. 'Nothing Special' offers the rare and delightful experience of learning in the authentic Buddhist tradition with a wonderfully contemporary Western master.

"Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day), is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is normally observed on September 17, the day in 1787 that delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia.[1]
When Constitution Day falls on a weekend or on another holiday, schools and other institutions observe the holiday on an adjacent weekday.[2]
The law establishing the present holiday was created in 2004 with the passage of an amendment by Senator Robert Byrd to the Omnibus spending bill of 2004.[3] Before this law was enacted, the holiday was known as "Citizenship Day" and celebrated on the third Sunday in May. In addition to renaming the holiday "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day," the act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions, and all federal agencies, provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution on that day.[4] In May 2005, the United States Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds of any kind."

Everyone copes with mental health issues differently and one fantastic method is the physical act of climbing. Alex’s guests today are Dave Dantas, Carol Johnson, and Larry Moore, who explain the goal behind Eagle Climbing & Fitness’ event “Climb for Hope” and how climbing can provide a safe space for anyone to be vulnerable and grow with a ton of community support.

Some people start out the new year with ridiculous weight loss goals. They think if they try hard enough, eat a kale salad, or join a gym, somehow, this year will be different.
Alex has really outdone himself this time; in one fell swoop he's moving out of his parents basement and is joining a cult. It's a cult based on based on water fasting; no snickers bars, no Taco Bell and definitely no Kool-Aid.
We're NOT optimistic Alex will make it past 24-hours without escaping the compound and heading for the border.
If you want to wish him luck or encouragement, feel free to E-mail him. He can use all the help he can get. Alex@PlumbKendall.com

Creating your own remodeling website may seem a little daunting, especially when you have no experience. Your first instinct will be to look at other websites so you can make yours similar.
The goal should be to not be like other contractors. Most remodelers in your area probably use the same contractors and pickup trucks and supplies etc. You need to be able to differentiate yourself from your competitors on your website.
You may think your website sucks because it is not according to the blueprint that you have seen but isn’t that the point? It’s what you say and how you say it with the images that you include on your website that will inspire creative thinkers that are looking for something unique. Remember, the beautiful thing about websites is that they are not brick and mortar. You can do whatever you think will be successful. Put your site in the water and see if it floats.
In this episode, we talk about…
- Being able to know what you do as soon as customers look at your website
- Letting the images speak for your work
- Search engine optimization
- Needing to be compatible with iPhones and tablets
- What platforms are best to use when creating a website
- Characteristics of an inefficient website-building platform
- Having a fancy gallery and photo section of past projects
- Scott’s story

In this inaugural episode, Alex shares an intimate story about his sister and the valuable lesson he learned about giving back to his community.
If this amazing story of giving back inspires you to shovel your neighbor's driveway or help an elderly person across the street, be prepared. Have your selfie stick at the ready and never let a good deed or kind gesture go unrecognized or worse yet, un-monetized.
In the meantime, Alex is anxious to return to the post office and admire his handiwork. So please help expedite his rise to fame and fortune by drawing a smiley face (the original emoji) on a piece of paper and mailing it to P.O. Box 408, Eagle, CO 81631. You will be rewarded for your efforts by receiving a hand-written note (in seven to 10 business days, holidays excluded, of course) from yours truly. You never know, Alex might even toss in my business card, in case you need some yard work in the springtime
